Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1006 Railway Station

While a few people were chatting, the door opened and a pair of girls who looked exactly the same came in.

"Who are you and why are you in our house?"

Looking at the two little girls who were looking at his group timidly, Jiang Yan guessed that they must be Victor's two children.

"You must be Zoe and Joey!" Jiang Yan said gently.

Before the two little girls could speak, Jiang Yan heard a sound coming from the yard.

"Mom, is Zoya here? Look, is this car Walker's?"

"It doesn't look like it to me. Walker's car isn't this new."

"Whose car is this then? Do we have any guests at home?"

"You'll find out when you go in, but we can't entertain guests. We only bought some potatoes today, not even bread."

Seeing an old lady coming in with a figure similar to Da Mao in later generations, Jiang Yan spoke.

"Aunt Anna."

When Anna heard someone calling her, she was stunned at first, then looked at Jiang Yan blankly.

"I'm Nikita, do you remember Aunt Anna?"

When Jiang Yan was studying abroad in Russia, everyone asked for a Russian name. After much selection, he chose the name Nikita.

"Oh, my child, it's really you! Let me see you." After Anna came to her senses, she hugged Jiang Yan, holding his face and looking left and right.

"Lilia, come quickly, this is the brother Nikita who grows flowers at home that we always talk about."

After the greetings, Anna began to introduce Victor's wife and children to Jiang Yan.

"Now you know why I know your names! Who is Joey and who is Zoe, who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?" Jiang Yan squatted down and looked at the two little sisters and spoke.

"I'm Joey, my sister."

"I'm Zoe, my younger sister."

"You are so good. Come here, uncle will give you some chocolate." Jiang Yan said and took out a doll head chocolate from his pocket.

The two little sisters did not take it, but looked at their mother together. It was not until Lilia nodded that they both took it.

"Thank you uncle."

"Be good. Go play!" Jiang Yan touched their heads and spoke.

"Andre, why did you bring back so many things?" Anna asked as she looked at the pile of things in the house.

"I bought them all to eat. By the way, Aunt Anna, I haven't had the stewed beef and beef pie you made for a long time. Can you make them for me?"

"Okay, I'll be right there." Anna called her daughter-in-law and started preparing dinner.

Uncle Vasily came back not long after. He was very happy to see Jiang Yan, especially when he saw the vodka that Jiang Yan brought back, his eyes lit up and he said he wanted to have a good drink this morning.

Zhuo Ya, who received a call from her brother, also hurried back. When she saw Jiang Yan, she threw herself into his arms. "Okay, Zhuo Ya, you are a mother now. You can't act like a child." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"No way, it's been a long time since I last saw Prat." Zhuoya said.

Then she introduced her husband and children to Jiang Yan.

The dinner was also quite sumptuous. It was probably the most sumptuous dinner their family had ever had. As expected, Uncle Vasily got drunk.

"Brat, what are you doing at the flower planter's house?" After finishing her meal, Anna poured a cup of black tea for Jiang Yan and the others and spoke.

"I used to work in a factory, but now I run a small business. Oh, and Aunt Anna and Uncle Vasily are retired now!"

"She's retired. Victor took over your uncle's job and joined the factory. Things are not good right now and Lilia is out of work for the time being. Zhuoya works as a salesperson in a store. We are a family that is grateful to Zhuoya for getting us some things from time to time. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to make ends meet. It's too difficult to buy anything now."

"That's right. Child, how is the situation at the flower-growing family?"

"Aunt Anna, the Flower Farm is not as wealthy as the Mao Xiong family, but we are not short of food. This time I brought some food here to do business."

"Oh! How much supplementary food did you bring? If possible, I can contact our leader to sell it to us directly." Walker, who was sitting next to Zhuoya, brightened his eyes when he heard that Jiang Yan brought supplementary food, and he made a suggestion.

"Oh! No need for that. The comrades in the Trade Department have already arranged a place. We can sell the goods directly after they arrive." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he turned and spoke to Anna.

"Aunt Anna, Ha brought a lot of clothes this time. When the time comes, you can take them over and I will get you a few sets."

With the warm hospitality of Vasily's family, Jiang Yan stayed until eight o'clock before leaving for the hotel, but he gave them the hotel room number.

After a few days, Jiang Yan and his team arrived at the Yaroslavl Railway Station. Most trains from China to Moscow stop at this railway station.

Yaroslavl Railway Station is one of the largest railway stations in the capital Moscow, and its building is the most prominent of all Russian railway station buildings in the capital.

The tower of the railway station reminds one of the luxurious architecture of the Moscow Kremlin and the austere style of the churches of the Russian North. On the gable above the entrance hall, the architect placed the coat of arms of the three cities that united the Araslav Railway - Moscow-Arkhangelsk - and Araslav Rus. Landscapes of the natural world of the country's north were painted on colored black-glazed ceramic panels. The famous Russian sketch artist Konstantin Kolovin participated in the design of the composition of the main hall. For the design of the platform facilities, another famous Russian architect was invited - LN Kgushev.

Yaraslavl Railway Station also changed its name: from 1907 to 1936 the station was called Northern Railway Station, and then it was restored to Yaraslavl Railway Station.

The glass wall of the train station stands tall. Even in such cold weather, the people waiting for the train are still sweating profusely.

Jiang Yan and others stood in the waiting hall of the station, looking up and down at the train station.

The station waiting hall is like a huge glass memorial box, solid and spacious, bright and modern, even utopian, and its design style reveals the pace of progress.

But compared with the bright and beautiful waiting hall, some vagrants, small vendors, beggars, speculators, and lucky people seem so miserable!
With the guidance of government officials, Jiang Yan and his companions were able to walk to the platform of the train station.

In the past few days, Jiang Yan also reached a deal with them. They can directly take 40% of the materials transported by each train and pay in rubles. However, Jiang Yan still gave them a discount that satisfied them.

However, even with such a discount, Jiang Yan and his team would still make a huge profit by selling it.

Because although the economy of the Russian bear market has been in bad shape for a while, the ruble is still strong now, and it is far from falling to the price of cabbage after the collapse of the Russian bear market in the future.

In the mid-60s, the national strength of the Russian Federation had greatly improved, and the exchange rate of the ruble naturally rose. In 1961, the Russian Federation revised the exchange rate of the ruble against various currencies. According to the new exchange rate standard, 100 US dollars could only be exchanged for 90 rubles, which means that the purchasing power of the ruble has surpassed that of the US dollar.

Seriously speaking, the purchasing power of a currency needs to be accepted by all countries in the world, and the exchange rate is based on a country's comprehensive national strength and the stability of its financial order.

Now, in the eyes of outsiders, the Russian bear is still extremely powerful, so the exchange rate of the ruble is naturally stable, so making money is not a problem.
